Since my father's generation
the Lord family has been spread far beyond the
borders of New England. We range from Iceland to
California. My cousin Hamilton Lord bounces around
between Florida, Wyoming, and Arizona. Perhaps this
page will help bring us closer. Actually, it already
has. The graphic at the top of this page was created
by Palmi Hamilton Lord who worked as a graphic
designer in Iceland several years ago. He has since
moved to Florida.
My sister Betsy has spent
many hours transcribing family diaries that we might
learn first-hand of the lives of our predecessors.
Her transcription of our great grandmother's diaries
are included in these pages. Jodie picked up my
mother's work and completed the family genealogy.
Parker and Diana live in the Ely homestead and keep
us in touch our heritage. Diana transcribed Henry
Sill Lord's letters written during his service during
tghe Civil War. Cousin Liz saved a lot of things
including material relating to Henry Sill Lord's last
great financial deal.
The Lord family coat
of arms may be viewed

Welcome to those who visit. I
hope perhaps you will find something here to enrich
your own story, or maybe you have something that will
help us fill the gaps in ours. My mother's line
contains Porters and Joslyn's but I have found very
little information about these families.
Since the Lord Family's Home
Page went public it has grown both in size and in
availability. It has been added to major search
engines and portions, such as Henry Sill Lord's Civil
War letters, have been linked to other sites. Lord
relatives have been in touch seeking information.
